About this study
Official title: Compariso of Pilates Exercises and Yoga on Rounded Shoulders
To Compare the effects of Pilates exercises an yoga on rounded shoulders
Read the detailed description
Pilates exercises and Yoga are two effective treatments for correcting RSP. In Pilates each exercise is conducted in more than one times usually three to five hence exposing the body to different and new muscular and kinesthetic challenges. On the other hand Yoga is a process in which the joints and muscles operate together in a systematic and automatic manner where each pose is sustained for a period of time. Several literatures support the belief that Pilates exercises and Yoga are effective treatments for RSP correction, as well as improving sleep quality, heart rate and SpO2 First, The participants will be divided into two groups, for Pilates exercises and Yoga. Honor wristbands will be distributed and Exercises will be demonstrated to each group. Explanation of using Honor band will be given. Measurements will be taken before the intervention including cervical ROM. shoulder ROM at baseline, 2nd week and 4th week. while heart rate, SpO2 immediately after the session. Sleep quality prior the intervention, 2nd and 4th week. Patients will do the exercises 3 times per week for 4 consecutive weeks.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rigid transparent plastic protractor
changes from baseline measurement of the distance between the posterior border of the acromion and the wall or a table
Measured: 2nd week and 4th week
Secondary outcomes (4)
Neck diability Index
Changes from baseline The neck disability index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points. he NDI consists of 10 domains-pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work, driving, sleep, and recreation-designed to assess the level of disability in patients with neck pain.
Measured: 4th week
Goniometer
Changes from baseline Measurements of cervical flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation, Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation were found to be reliable with universal goniometer
Measured: 2nd week and 4th week
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
Change from baseline SPADI is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The SPADI includes two domains: a five-item pain subscale and an eight-item disability subscale. he maximum score is 130
Measured: 4th week
Honor Band 5 Smart Wristband Fitness Tracker
Changes from baseline With optimized optical hardware and software algorithms, HONOR Band 5 precisely measure, HR , SpO2 both immediately after exercise and monitors sleep throughout the intervention.
Measured: 2nd week and 4th week
